C2930 Self-sacrifice to the Dao
Although he wasn't a benevolent person, he had always believed that there was great love in the world. For example, the West Heaven God used the Buddhist Dharma to edify the suffering people in the world, and the Xia Wang Jie's Seven Scions taught the world. What kind of character was that?
Were the things they did meritorious?
In the past, he didn't think that these things were for profit, but if he were to consider it from another perspective, it seemed to be for profit.
The West Empyrean God had saved all lives. It was to improve his dharma, and to ascend to the Deity Realm as soon as possible. The Xia Wang Jie Seven Scions passed down their teachings to the world, hoping that the cultivators of the Boundless Sea would become stronger. In the future, they would have enough strength to defend against external enemies, and protect the peace of the Boundless Sea.
When he thought of these things, Qin Xuan furrowed his brows tightly. He actually felt an unprecedented contradiction in his heart. Who was wrong?
Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan with a faint smile on his face. He said, "I apologize for inviting you here. I apologize for my rudeness. Please don't blame me. "
"It's fine. " Qin Xuan waved his hand and did not think about right and wrong anymore. After all, there were two sides to everything in the world. If he continued to investigate, he might not get any results. He might as well treat it calmly.
"Let me formally introduce myself, I am Ji Lantian, the young city lord of Thousand Crane City. " Ji Lantian said with a smile. His tone was very relaxed and natural, as if he was chatting with a friend. Invisibly, he closed the distance between them.
"Qin Xuan. " Out of courtesy, Qin Xuan also said his name.
"May I ask where Brother Qin is from?" Ji Lantian asked. Obviously, he was very curious about Qin Xuan's origin.
"I am from an extremely distant place. Brother Ji, I don't think you have heard of me before. " Qin Xuan replied. His words weren't a lie. Zhong Xingtian was indeed very far away from here.
Ji Lantian's eyes slightly narrowed. He understood that Qin Xuan wasn't willing to reveal his origins, so he didn't continue asking.
"I heard that the Earth Pi will open soon. As the young city lord, Brother Ji should know a lot about the Earth Pi, right?" Qin Xuan suddenly changed the topic, planning to get some useful information from Ji Lantian.
Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan with a profound look, as if he had seen through a lot of things. He immediately replied, "Not really. After all, the Earth Pi opens every few hundred years. The last time it opens, I was not born and did not enter it. "
Qin Xuan's eyes sparkled. Ji Lantian was slightly older than him, so it was normal for him not to enter the Earth ITEM4. However, some experts must have entered the City Lord's Mansion before, so they knew what was inside.
"In the ancient times, several Heavenly Venerates and an evil race demon king fought here. That battle lasted for more than ten days and nights, shaking the heavens and shaking the earth. The heavens and earth lost color, and in the end, the Empyreans killed the evil race demons. "
"However, in that battle, Empyrean Yoruhana was severely injured and his life was hanging by a thread. He sacrificed himself and transformed into his own body, thus creating the current Great Earth Scripture. " Ji Lantian slowly spoke. His voice was rather low, and there was a hint of reverence in his eyes.
"Sacrificing himself for the Dao. "
Qin Xuan muttered in his heart. Then, as if he had understood something, he looked at Ji Lantian in disbelief and asked, "You mean, the earth's fire is formed by the body of Empyrean Yoruhana?"
"That's right. " Ji Lantian nodded.
"This. . . " Qin Xuan's heart trembled. Didn't this mean that Celestial Yoruhana had destroyed his physical body?
It had to be known how powerful a celestial's physical body was. It had experienced countless years without being corroded, and could be said to be an indestructible body. However, Celestial Yoruhana didn't preserve his physical body. Instead, he chose another path. He sacrificed himself to transform into the Dao, and left his inheritance to the future generations.
What a tragic move this was.
"You just said that several Empyreans fought against the demons, and that Celestial Yoruhana fell. What about the other Empyreans?" Qin Xuan suddenly asked Ji Lantian.
"I'm not sure. This is only the inheritance of Celestial Yoruhana. Perhaps they survived. " Ji Lantian replied.
"As far as I know, among the Celestial Venerables who participated in the war, Celestial Yoruhana was the most powerful. I'm sure he was the one who confronted the demons head-on, and the other Celestial Venerables assisted him in the battle. "
A thoughtful look appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes. Heavenly Venerate Yoruhana had a direct confrontation with the evil demons, which was why he had suffered the most severe injuries. In that case, it was indeed possible that the other Heavenly Venerates had survived.
From this point of view, it was truly a pity that Celestial Yoruhana had died.
However, if he didn't step out bravely, then he wouldn't be the only one to die. Instead, he would be like a myriad of living beings, and the price he would have to pay would be even more devastating.
Qin Xuan's expression suddenly froze, and some thoughts flashed through his mind. The doubts in his heart had been solved at this moment.
There were two sides to everything in the world, so the word 'utilitarian' naturally existed as well. The key was how one looked at it from the bottom of one's heart.
If one saw profit as an idea to pursue one's own interests, This was what Ji Lantian thought in his heart.
In Ji Lantian's eyes, kindness and kindness were the result of weighing the pros and cons. It was only because the utilitarian in his eyes was centered on himself, while the materialistic thing in his eyes was useless, and could be abandoned at any time.
However, if he were to seek the welfare of the people, then it could not be said to be beneficial.
In the ancient war, Heavenly Venerate Devour, Heavenly Venerate Samsara, and other powerful existences had fallen. With their strength, they could totally survive the ancient war. However, they were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the people of the Nine Mysterious Starfields.
It was the same for Heavenly Venerate Yoruhana. In order to leave behind an inheritance for the future generations, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the Dao.
From this, it could be seen that Ji Lantian's thoughts were too narrow. He only cared about his own gains and losses, and the interests of others had nothing to do with him.
However, Qin Xuan could understand Ji Lantian's thoughts.
After all, not everyone had a broad mind like Celestial Yoruhana. Most people were realistic, and even he himself couldn't do it. How could he force others to do it?
Although Qin Xuan had thought of many things in his mind, all of this only happened in a very short period of time. Qin Xuan looked at Ji Lantian again and asked, "Do you know when the Earth Jail will open?"
"I don't know, but it should be soon. " Ji Lantian replied, "There should be many geniuses coming. Thousand Crane City will be much livelier than usual. "
Qin Xuan slightly nodded and did not say anything.
"Why don't Brother Qin stay here for the time being? When the time comes, we will head to the Great Earth Domain together, and we will be able to take care of each other. " Ji Lantian said with a smile, as if he was expressing his goodwill to Qin Xuan.
"There's no need for that. I'm still used to being alone. " Qin Xuan tactfully refused. His character was different from Ji Lantian's, and he was destined to never become true friends. Furthermore, this person was extremely shrewd, and was far from being as simple as he seemed on the surface. It would be better if they didn't interact much.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was determined to leave, Ji Lantian did not urge him to stay any longer. With a smile on his face, he said: "Since that's the case, I'll order someone to send Brother Qin out of the prefecture. "
"Thank you. " Qin Xuan expressed his gratitude.
Ji Lan's heart skipped a beat. Not long after, a figure came over and specially came to send Qin Xuan away from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Farewell. " Qin Xuan said to Ji Lan Tian and left with that person.
He looked at Qin Xuan's back as he left. Although this man was only a level five saint, he gave him a sense of threat. It seemed like he was not simple!
